In my opinion the Clavia stuff doesnt sound too good.
I had the nord mod and although it had a huge range
of sounds, it was too plasticy sounding.  Got an Arp
Odyessey and MKS-80 and am much happier.  They have
much more bit and detail and sound thicker when needed.
The clavia was soft and the low end was terrible. 

As far as the sherman goes, its awesome but not subtle.
But it will deffinalty give you sounds no other filter 
can.  If you were to take some of the drums or sounds
from the xl7 and run them through the sherman into
a sampler you would have a whole other sound palette.
